Micrograph of embryoid bodies.
Embryoid bodies contain cells that differentiate into mature, male, sex cells similar to sperm, but without tails. When the researchers isolated those cells and injected them directly into mouse egg cells, the eggs essentially became fertilized, and an entirely new line of early-stage mouse embryos began to grow. such an embryo is shown in this image.
